2007 camry rear brake rotor removal
ok, my rear brake rotors were seriously glazed, and made nasty rub in reverse.
i decided to take them off today and deglaze, just to find out that they are almost welded to hub. rock solid. taps, whacks with heavy mallet - solid.
now, keep in mind, i KNOW how to remove rotors and had it done on so many cars, i lost count. i understand it has internal parking brake, but so does my Silverado, and i had none of this trouble with it. parking brake was not engaged, rear wheels in free spin - rotors rock solid on the hub.
yes, i know it has 2 dinky 6mm threaded holes to place bolts in them and press rotor off the hub. so does Honda, and all it does is those threads strip with slightest torque applied. and i ALWAYS could mallet stubborn rotors off hubs on cars with much higher mileage(rusted to hub; hondas are real bad about this). this one - solid.
what's the trick?
